Thick snow and freezing rain have been causing travel chaos in the eastern and southern sections of the United States.
Heavy snowstorms hit parts of North Carolina on Sunday, and dozens of traffic accidents were reported. The blizzard is the result of a low pressure system.
It's expected to strengthen into a major storm, as it moves northeastward. Atlanta received just over two-and-a-half centimeters of snow -- the first time the area had enough to measure on Christmas Day since the 1880s.
Hundreds of flights have been cancelled at Washington DC's National Reagan Airport, and more than a thousand in the New York City area.
More than 35 centimeters of snow is forecast for New York City and New England, and nearly two dozen states east of the Mississippi are under severe weather warnings.
